No thorns go as deep as a rose’s
November 2nd, 2008
Rose harvest
'Let a hundred flowers blossom'
This climbing rose grew so much in early spring that it completely subsumed the handle that deploys the sun umbrella. One painful attempt to wind the handle by reaching into the roses made it clear that extensive pruning was required. So we now have an abundance of apricot-hued roses inside as well as out. A quick photo session ensued.

The huge red roses on the opposite corner of the deck are also in full bloom. This shot has been filtered to preserve the reds only.
